7-Day Natural Challenge to Get Rid of Dark Lips
7 Day Challenge to Eliminate Dark Lips Naturally
Most often, dark-colored lips are attributed to dehydration, sun exposure, smoking, and excessive caffeine consumption. The great news is that with proper care and natural home remedies, your lips can turn pink again within 7 days.
This is a 7-day challenge designed to make everything easy and fun, using just homemade solutions and simple habits for soft, healthy lips.
Day 1: Sugar and Honey Scrub
Why This Works:
Usually, dead cells give the look of darkish and dull skin. Exfoliation removes such dead cells while improving blood flow.
Ingredients
1 teaspoon brown or white sugar
1/2 teaspoon honey
Instructions:
Mix the sugar and honey to a paste.
Apply this scrub with gentle circular rubbing motions on the lips for about 1 to 2 minutes.
Rinse with lukewarm water, and pat it dry.
Tip: Lock it all in with a hydrating lip balm.
Day 2: Hydrate and Protect
Why It Works:
Dehydration is one of the most common causes of dark lips. Drinking plenty of water keeps your lips hydrated, while protecting them from harmful UV rays prevents further damage.
Steps:
Drink at least 8 glasses of water throughout the day.
Apply a lip balm with SPF 15 or higher to protect your lips from sun exposure.
Avoid licking your lips since this can cause dryness and darkening.
Special Tip: Add nourishment to your lip balm by having it from all natural ingredients such as shea butter or beeswax.
Day 3: Shine with Lemon and Almond Oil
Why It Works:
Lemon is a natural bleach, but it’s also nourishing and repairing the damaged skin of almond oil.
Ingredients:
1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice
A few drops of almond oil
Instructions:
Mix the lemon juice and almond oil.
Gently massage the mixture onto your lips before bedtime.
Leave it on overnight and rinse in the morning.
Warning: If you have sensitive skin, dilute the lemon juice further or skip this remedy.
Day 4: Moisturize with Aloe Vera Gel
Why It Works:
Aloe vera has soothing and healing properties that can lighten pigmentation and deeply moisturize your lips.
Ingredients:
Fresh aloe vera gel (or store-bought, pure aloe vera)
Instructions:
Apply a thin layer of aloe vera gel to your lips.
Let it be that way for 15–20 minutes.
Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
Tip: Use this remedy in the morning and evening for faster results.
Day 5: Increase Blood Circulation with Beetroot Balm

Day 6: Quit Lip Darkening Habits
Why It Works:
It is as important to prevent further damage as it is to treat existing pigmentation.
Steps:

Never go to bed with makeup. Use a mild cleanser or micellar water to remove it.
